I love you

#

Is this out?

silver lava

#

You’re amazing

inner obsidian
#

Could you make a counterpart like the AH1W or Apache(bit far fetched)

lean cloak
#

There’s already an Apache mod, why not use that?

#

@silver lava also if you want, there’s a Sci-fi framework mod that allowed for pilot slaved turrets

#

Why ? Why are you "putting me on the needle" of your modding?

Great work!
@silver lava please more love for interior quality for 1pp only players, we'll gladly donate for that to reward your work 🙂

Fuck yeah this is sick

#

yeah KA-50 is a lot faster and more agile than a more primary attack heli like Apache or Hind. Should fly more like a SuperCobra as Crayon mentioned or heavily armed littlebird

placid steeple
#

KA-50 is sick though being an experimental single-seat heli I'm keen to make it a rare spawn on my server since a lot of players want to fly solo even if it's not as capable as a crewed heli

#

Anyways its for Mark to decide if he'll make US counter

Ohhhh

Can. Pilot also control the cannon and shoot missiles like vikhr

silver lava

#

Its beautiful

# silver lava

Will it be like previous arma games where the pilot can also control the gun and shoot missiles and use thermal vision

Or is that impossible in this engine

# silver lava

Are you planning to make the wheels retract at a certain altitude?

#

Same with Mi-24A and the Ka27

granite egret

#

Slaved means who’s controlling it, so pilot slaved would be controlled by the pilot, where as gunner slaved would be controlled by the gunner

granite egret
#

Hmmmmmmm this is interesting

lean cloak
#

The mod I’m referencing allows pilots to independently control turrets separate from the pilot controls, while still piloting the aircraft or vehicle

granite egret
#

Because i once requested the ka52 modder to do this thing where the pilot can control the turret but he said it was impossible

lean cloak
#

Nothing is impossible if you know how to script

I gotta send this to the ka52 guy, game changer

Why would the KA52 guy need it, that’s a two seater aircraft

No, the KA-52 does not, that’s the KA-50 that can(the heli used in this article)

#

I get your point but thats in MP, us solo dwellers are a bit lonely 😅

#

Can you show a source for this, because I don’t think your correct

granite egret

Either way, just run this helicopter instead, problem solved

The gun is functional, just doesn’t have swivel controls at the moment

finally some SOV cold war aviation

lean cloak
#

I assume Sov means soviet, and I just want to warn you

The KA-50 was developed in 1995

The Soviet Union fell in ‘92, this is not Soviet, nor Cold War

#

Get it right 🙄

granite egret
#

It made its first flight in 1982 as a prototype, but was into service in 1995

lean cloak
#

It entered service in ‘95

But I suppose it was designed in the 80’s, so it kinda counts

granite egret
#

Smol 5 year mistake, 1995

inner obsidian
#

V-80 i meant

IRL if sov went into war with US they would prob mass produce a new goodish heli like V-80

The textures look a bit muddy and blurry but it’s otherwise very good!

#

Add in 2 more loadouts for the KA. One is loaded with 2 new FAB-500 bombs!!

Fuck yeah

#

hey! @silver lava sorry for the ping but (correct me if im wrong) the ka-50 doesn't have flares right?

silver lava

# silver lava Not yet

will it be implemented? if yes do you mind sharing an eta? sorry for the question I really like the mod and I would love to add it on my server!

just checked it out

#

its pretty cool being able to have a gun angled down as a pilot and just hammer something from above is pretty peak.

The ka-27 is awesome aswell

KA-50 updated:

Added missing rotor colliders
Added Flares
Tweaked HUD
Tweaked Light switches and door interactions
Added proper damage state rotor models
Fixed Engine collider to not be one huge box
Added Camo skin

do you mind adding a loadaut with igla and rockets?

#

because there isn't none (correct me if im wrong)

Amazing mod!

silver lava
#

Update:

Changed body material to 3mm Metal

spare sparrow
#

Been testing this thing past few days, loving it so far. Gunner camera is sickkk super unique

#

Will rotor blur be added?
I see you have blur on Mi-24A

silver lava

#

What’s the use for Game Master FX dependency? Just curious

azure cypress
#

Unfortunately the autocannon doesn't seem to deal any dmg to armoured vehicles. Also the rotor doesn't break upon impact with trees/structures.

spare sparrow

#

Imo it could use a little buff so it does dmg to medium armored targets.

silver lava

They certainly do on huey and mi8, also tested the ka52 from wcs the same way

#

Should the mod update on it's own when hosting a server or do I need to redownload it like with some other games?

silver lava
#

No I mean will the rotors break when hitting other props in the world ie. Poles, buildings ect..

azure cypress
#

you can skip to 1:15 where I test the rotors on the energy pole

@silver lava I've tested it again and rotor doesn't break, also I got problems with using the gun camera from the cockpit

#

Im testing it on vanilla Everon Game Dev with only ka-50 the other ka mod and game master fx

# silver lava Is WCS Armament active?

The armaments work now, the camera also. I didn't know u need to get into the heli manually instead of putting a guy inside and taking control of him as gm

spare sparrow
#

Do you think you’ll take the time on animating the landing gears to tuck in?

silver lava

Is the ka-27 necessary in dependencies? Additional 140mb 😕

@silver lava dont you mind if i create some different armament variants for your KA-50? and btw i can make colliders for your rotors, i worked on it for my sw4

# silver lava Post em here

I was thinking about the classic one for "dog fight" and air support rockets pod and igla, then full vihr rockets and iglas, and one with AGM rockets (the one the apache have)

also while testing with friends we noticed that the 30mm cannon does little to no damage to armored vehicles

silver lava
fresh cedar
#

to be fair I think the only thing that actually need to be 100% done are the iglas and rockets one

silver lava
#

Update:

Made better 30mm ammo that can pen LAV armor
Fixed some UI stuff
Fixed error spamming the logs
Fixed rotor colliders

Other shit i prob forgot

spare sparrow
silver lava
#

the log spam was an issue with both the 27 and 50. In 30 seconds of flight there would be over 2,000 errors in the log file. thats all fixed

Question about the Targeting pod for the Ka50 ( not a suggestion, just a question)

Can it be done like the drone mode where you can control the turret in real time with the arrow keys and zooming in and out too?

#

the ka-50 gun is missing sounds, tracers and entire destruction model of the helicopter is bugged takes horrendous amount of bullets from any ground vehicle and even after that its only smoking to catch a fire after another good 5 minuts of flying , will all of it get fixe any time soon ?

silver lava

#

sound works fine on server full of mods

spare sparrow
#

Maybe good to check on how the AH-6M is handled, that may solve some of these issues with pilot controlled turrets

@silver lava is it a know issue that kills taken with KA-50 gun are not visible for servers properly? In our case they are not visible by 2 separate trackers that we use, it seems to be the only vehicle/gun which kills are being omitted

Hey, awesome work on the mod!

I've found some issues (some of which you might be aware of)

  1. I can't spawn it on regular helipads, I have to do it around them. Also when spawning preview of the model is not pointing where it should and rotors are tilted 90° to the side.
  2. I'm not able to fully repair rotor if it gets damaged, it always stays at 1 pt damaged
  3. There are issues with flare deployment. Sometimes it's delayed and sometimes they don't deploy at all. When they don't get deployed at all I think it has something to do with character accessories. For example I noticed that I had binoculars selected and it tried to use them even that I was in gun sight view.
  4. Sometimes after death gunsight UI get's stuck on the screen until I relog onto the server.
  5. There are cases when I don't hear I'm getting hit and start burning and dying (might be issues with longer distances and Arma itself.
  6. Landing gear doesn't retract. Not a dealbreaker, just would be cool to see it.
  7. In game it can reach top speed of around 200 km/h while IRL it's operational top speed is ~270–300 km/h.
  8. It's not integrated with access locking and I had it stolen twice! 😅

Ideas for improvement

  1. Because you don't have gunner and it's harder to aim I think it would be nice to implement helmet-mounted sight gun slew. Ka-50's gun can slew 12° left, 30° to the right and −37° to +3° in elevation.
  2. It would be nice to have 8x zoom for gun view.

Thanks for your work!

Awesome! Also I just remembered that sometimes engine shutoff doesn't work

2 things I noticed yesterday that you might be aware of:

  • totors have no collisions
  • aiming thing feels a bit OP. I'm not sure if it's a periscope or a camera but might have narrower view and maybe less clean, otherwise it will be the only view used to fly it🙂
    Great work with it!
    I hope exterior textures will be improved too someday, but still nice as is

Thank you so much for working on it and the best of luck with your progress! Can't wait to add it to our cold war server, when the major issues are resolved 🎉

gentle pawn

It should be Picture in Picture not periscope type of view

Also wouldnt it be a smart idea to alllow the camera to move when your zoomed into it

KA-50 got an update. Added a CRT TV look to the camera and changed some collider values

Better but still OP imo, maybe some grain or blur/distortions to make it less likely to be the goto piloting solution?🙂

BTW could you also share some update on how vikhr will work? Will it be the same as AIM9 aka shoot and forget?

Thanks!

You should make it a sight picture instead of a full screen, make it smaller in like a picture of the crt middle

inner obsidian

Well i mean ur looking thro a screen in a cockpit,maybe have a shrunken CRT screen surrounded by a template of cockpit instruments

I’m on work trip so I don’t know first hand, but from what I’m reading some players are asking if the armament widget can be added back in some way. Now that the overlay is on the turret, it blocks the weapon selection & ammo UI at the bottom right. You maybe able to rescale and move the .layout to fit within the viewport?

I’m unsure if you’d be able to bring that UI infront of the overlay

lean cloak

Guess its an unintentional feture to keep ppl from just sitting in the cam full time

@silver lava
Could you please explain?
So are Vikhr supposed to work like missiles AIM9 or manually guided ones like Hellfire? Will they use wcs locking system?

gentle pawn

#

For armaments update, you’ll need WCS_Armament_WeaponStationComponent

#

They’ve added some others aswell, may have to look into to get new functions working on yours

@silver lava is rotor animation broken? I see my friend flying but rotor is static for me

dim aspen
#

@silver lava
Would it be possible to add proper ARMED treat to this vehicle? Otherwise it spawns instead of a transport Mi-8 🙂

silver lava
dim aspen
# silver lava Wym?

Armed helis should have ARMED treat. Your ka-50 seems to have VEHICLE HELICOPTER treat, but ARMED is missing, so it spawns on an ambient spawn for transport only unharmed vehicles

BTW are missiles expected to work as just rockets now?
